Has anyone experienced the problem I have with my Logitech mouse? The screen cursor tends to freeze and the smallest movement of the mouse wheel unfreezes it until a few seconds later it happens again. The timing for this to happen is variable, during the time it took to type the previous eight...

Hi all, I have an Acer Travelmate 8006 LMI laptop and I have done a ram upgrade into expansion slot. Result: it doesn't turn on, hard disk led flashes for some milliseconds and stops. Of course leaving ram from expansion slot it turns on like before. I'd like to know possible reasons, I have...

In the BIOS settings, I have these options: APM Force Throttle (enabled) Manual Throttle Ratio 50% System Thermal (enabled) Thermal Throttle Ratio 50% I am not sure what this means, so I found a PDF file on the AMIBIOS website.

Is there a card that can used in a pc (using Win XP) that can receive digital broadcast TV signals, and save them to a hard disk? What are the factors involved, and roughly what do these things cost? Thanks

Does anyone have any links to a diagram visually showing the comparison of the distance of a hard drive read/write head from the platter to a cross-section of a human hair. I had seen this somewhere before but despite my best googling, I cant locate one now. Seeking one for a report I'm working...

I see a few good buys (?) out there for large internal sata hard drives. Will a normal BIOS handle 1TB? Will XP SP2? Or are mods necessary? Duke

I am running an Asus P5K MB with an Intel Quad CPU, an Asus GE Force 8600 GT graphics card, 1 DVD Drive, and with 8GB of RAM. I was running 2 hard disks before and just added a 3rd one into the system. According to things I have read, I should be running a 600 Watt PSU with this kind of hardware....

I have discovered that most likely the problem is a faulty RAM module. I have two 2GB'ers. When I remove the second one, the error disappears and I get a good boot. When I replace it, I get the same error. When I try running with only the second one, I get the error. I now not only get the...

Another interesting experience with my gigabyte-ga-ma78gm-s2hp mobo and amd phenom x3 8650: The system has locked up twice in the last four days, and I am contemplating trying some accelerated testing to find out what is going on. So far I have tried several programs that are on Ultimate Boot...

Looking to buy a new flash drive. I don't know too much about them and which ones are the best. Can anyone offer some good recommendations as to what to buy please? I need at least 16GB + decent speed and for general day to day usage. What's all this U3 stuff too? Many thanks.

I bit the bullet and bought a new MOBO bundle. It is: MOBO M3A78-CM CPU AMD Phenom 9950 Quad 2.6 MHz RAM 4GB DDR2 It has only one IDE (PATA) header providing me with only C: hard drive and D: DVD burner. I added an IDE card in one of the PCI slots: Promise PCI Ultra ATA/66 vers 1.11

I bought a laser printer cartridge from the web the other day, and found out that it had a date of manufacture of four years ago. Can this cartridge damage my printer?

I ask this out of ignorance. Please. I am trying to install a new system including an add-on PCI IDE card to use with hard drives. As I said in an earlier post, I am having trouble. However, I noticed that during boot, a message flashes on the screen saying 'Ultra BIOS not installed'.

My new system has started failing at the start of boot with the error: RAM R/W test failed Press F1 to continue When I press F1 I get: Checking NVRAM... And it stays like that forever until I power off.

Hello. I'm looking at buying my first external HDD for backup and to try out Linux distributions. At the moment I have a small amount of data and I'm wondering if it's worth while buying 500gb+ when 160gb is more than enough for the next year or two. A 640gb drive is about twice the cost of...

Hi. I have a faulty hard drive I want to get rid of but a story that appeared in the news recently ( http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/7816446.stm ) has made me wary of simply throwing it out. I'd prefer to destroy it. The thing is, this drive seems as tough as hell. I can't figure out how...

Hi, I'm currently recovering from an auto accident (pedestrian). My situation is that I have wifi where I am, BUT I must travel to the office to use it (that's outside). Fine in non-snow/ice months. I am about 100 to 120 feet away from the router/source. Would this be a viable solution

Hi all, Can anyone reccomend a nice computer toolkit, preferably with a real leather case or even a breifcase? I have a nice enough $60 kit from a few years back, with pliers, cutters, strippers, sockets, etc.. but I want something high end with like 3 or 4 different pliers, etc.. Price isn't a...

Hi all, We've got the above laptop (product ID 2668G2U, if that tells you anything). We got it with a 60 GB factory installed hard drive which we now would like to upgrade. Apparently, these things have a custom firmware which would not work with just any good old ATA hard drives, only with some....
